KITCHEN ACCESSORIES - SALT & PEPPER GRINDER

Model No. SG-2321S

What should I do when mill is running sluggish or is not properly operating?

Check the batteries. Replace with new batteries of the same type and eliminate the old batteries in an environmentally friendly manner.

What should I do when the mill still does not grind and I have checked that the batteries are installed correctly and are not discharged.

If the mill gets stuck during use, it will hum. The internal shaft will not turn, and no pepper will grind. Gently tap the mill or shake the mill to remove the stuck salt or pepper. Also, Pepper does have oil, if your Peppermill becomes sluggish and has new batteries, it may be time for a cleaning. If peppercorn is deeply stuck, detach the top half of the mill along with the battery motor from the bottom as if you were refilling the mill. Turn the adjustment grind setting wheel to its coarseness setting and tap lightly on a hard surface until the stuck peppercorn is released. Use the refill opening as support. Once done, put the mill back together and adjust the coarseness to your desired level.

What if LED light does not lit?

Issue may be that the bottom half of the mill is not locked in place. Ensure that the bottom half of the Mill is locked by aligning the black arrowhead with the lock silk screen. See image below. Twist the bottom portion clockwise until it clicks.

How can I achieve the best results with my rice cooker?

To ensure the best results when using your rice cooker, consider the following tips:
1. Patience is key: After the cooking cycle is complete, resist the urge to open the unit immediately. Allow the rice to settle for several minutes before serving. This helps to evenly distribute the moisture and enhance the texture of the rice.
2. Soaking for softer rice: If you prefer softer rice, you can improve the texture by soaking the rice and water in the inner pot for 10 to 20 minutes before starting the cooking process. This step allows the grains to absorb more moisture and results in a softer final product.
3. Utensil selection: When handling the rice cooker, avoid using metal utensils or sharp objects inside the pot. These can cause damage to the coating of the inner pot. Instead, opt for non-metallic utensils that are safe for use with non-stick surfaces.
4. Avoid reheating: Once you have finished cooking and unplugged the rice cooker, it is recommended not to reheat the rice again in the same unit. Reheating can affect the texture and quality of the rice. Instead, serve the rice immediately or store it properly for later use.

How long should I keep the rice in the warm position after it is cooked in the rice cooker?

Once the rice is fully cooked, it is recommended to keep it in the warm position for a duration of 15 minutes. This allows the rice to further absorb moisture and remain at an optimal serving temperature. After the 15-minute period, the rice can be served and enjoyed.

What should I do if my dough becomes too heavy to mix with the mixer?

If you find that your dough is becoming too heavy for the mixer, it is likely due to the excessive amount of batter being mixed. To address this issue, we recommend reducing the quantity of dough you are working with. By decreasing the amount of dough, you'll ensure that the mixer can effectively handle the mixing process and prevent any strain on its motor. Adjusting the dough quantity will result in a smoother mixing experience and better results.

If you notice the dough creeping up the beaters while using the mixer, there are a couple of steps you can take to address this issue. First, ensure that the beaters are properly attached to the mixer. Check that they are securely in place to prevent any movement or slippage during the mixing process. Additionally, applying a small amount of cooking oil on the stem of the beaters can help create a smoother surface, reducing the chances of the dough sticking and climbing up. This simple step can make the mixing process more efficient and prevent any inconvenience caused by dough climbing up the beaters.

What can I do to avoid rusting of my beaters?

To prevent rusting, it is important to ensure proper care of your beaters. After washing the beaters, make sure to dry them thoroughly and immediately.
